Maria

Vocal & Piano Coach

Teaches in both English and French (elle enseigne en anglais et en français)

Maria is proof that you can be a technical powerhouse and a modern performer at the same time! A multi-award-winning musician and Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) Gold Medalist, Maria brings a perfect blend of high-level training and a genuine love for today’s music—from the indie-rock of the Arctic Monkeys to the pop-rock anthems of Olivia Rodrigo.

Maria’s musical journey began at the age of three. Over a decade later, her dedication has earned her top honors, including an RCM Gold Medal for perfect marks on her Level 5 vocal exam, 1st Place at the Unionville Music Competition (Self-Accompanied Voice), 2nd Place at the Kiwanis Music Festival for Music Composition, and most recently, First Class Honours on her Level 8 RCM Music Theory exam. She was also recognized with the Leading Women and Girls in Orleans award for her volunteerism and community performances.

With real-world experience headlining conferences and performing at the Ottawa Christmas Market Tree Lighting Ceremony, Maria knows exactly what it takes to step into the spotlight. In her lessons, students don't just learn "how" to execute a technique—they learn the theory and "why" behind it, turning them into well-rounded musicians who can tackle everything from classical exams to Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter hits. Outside the studio, Maria stays active with ballet, jazz, lyrical dance, and kayaking, bringing that same vibrant, multi-dimensional energy to inspire every student at Sing House Studios.
